Computer Configuration, Local Security Policy

Though I could reach there by Run-gpedit.exe as suggested b
Spack. How to bring that to Start Menu?

Right-click on your taskbar, Properties, Start Menu, Customize,
[X] Display Administrative Tools

I still wonder because I think this is checked by default.

One might also simply start MMC and add the snapin "Group

collection of the most relevant snapins.

How to start MMC?

Start, run, "mmc"
